Faults:
Small rust bubbling on left front arch. (1x3cm-ish)

Slight kerbing to one alloy - very minor, not worth fixing.

Am very happy to fix to high standard (new wing / respray front end / dent magician), or sell as is.
The story:
The car was built by David Rollings at Rotechniks for a chap called Keith Boiling. He wanted an optimum fast road set up, money no object. Rotechniks billed hundreds of hours of labour on this car, it became a bit of an unofficial demo machine - very much work in progress for a long time, so it tended to stay at Rotechniks\' premises when not in use. By agreement it carried the Rotechniks decals. Very much a showcase of David Rollings\' abilities. (David was one of the original UK rotary-trained Mazda mechanics at the RX7\'s launch.)
Keith could have easily gone for huge power with the budget he allocated, but instead he opted for a very useable machine with high reliability. He wanted it to look standard, so the interior / exterior are all original or later model original. Everything is very precise and tight, all very reassuring. The car has never missed a beat and absolutely flies.
Viewings/any inspection welcome.

Russell, Very interested. My Elise is up for sale now and hopefully I would be in a position to buy within the next week or two. There is another RX7 down your way that I\'m hoping to view so hopefully I can see your one also.
I\'ll have to arrange a day to come see both, probably the weekend of the 7th if that\'s possible?
Russell, nice car, good luck with the sale,
